>
> An International Conference
> July 22-25, 2004
> Porto Alegre, Brazil
>
> ::::CALL FOR PROPOSALS::::
>
> DEADLINE: May 21, 2004
>
> OURMedia/NuestrosMedios is an international network of more than 270
academics and activists -- researchers, practitioners and
> advocates working in more than forty countries to strengthen media and
information/communication technologies (ICTs) that support
> social justice, human rights, community autonomy and grassroots
empowerment.
>
> Our work spans many fields: community media, independent media, radical
media, citizens media ... grassroots networking,
> telecommunications policy, indymedia activism, cultural arts,
communications theory, social-movement research, sociology,
> anthropology, cultural studies, development communication and
communication for social change. Our annual meeting is a time to learn
> from each other and to strengthen our analyses, strategies, collaborations
and campaigns. We invite you to join us.
>
> Presentations and participatory sessions at OM IV will be translated on
site into English/Spanish/Portuguese and also fully
> documented. Papers, reports and other written or multimedia materials
provided by presenters will be posted to the OURMedia website,
> which is becoming one of the most comprehensive online repositories of
research and commentary on grassroots media and ICTs. Several
> publication projects such as books and special-edition journals are
currently being planned and others may develop to feature the
> presentations, discussions and projects produced at and for OM IV.
>
> This announcement includes:
> ** Types of Sessions
> ** Topic Areas
> ** Selection Criteria
> ** How to Apply
> ** More about the Conference (including costs & fees)
> ** Preliminary Conference Schedule
>
>
> ===============
>
> TYPES OF SESSIONS
>
> The Conference Planning Committee is seeking proposals for two types of
sessions:
>
> 1) PRESENTATIONS: moderated panels, paper presentations, multimedia
presentations, small roundtable debates/discussions,
> performances
> 2) PARTICIPATORY SESSIONS: facilitated discussion groups, workshops,
strategic working groups, action planning meetings
>
> In addition, the first and last days of the OURMedia/NuestrosMedios IV
Conference will feature FIELD TRIPS to local Brazilian
> grassroots media and ICT projects, advocacy campaigns and popular
education centers as well as an active POLYMEDIA LAB which will be
> open for the full four days of the conference.
>
> Based on previous "polymedia labs" at the European Social Forum (Florence
2002), the We Seize! WSIS Counter-Summit (Geneva 2003) and
> the Foro de Acá (Montevideo 2003) the OURMedia Polymedia Lab will be a
multimedia space for experimentation, creation, collaboration
> and skill-sharing. Workshops, projects and exhibits will explore
autonomous and community uses of video, audio, Internet and other
> traditional and new media technologies. The Polymedia Lab is collectively
organized by participants and open to all. Anyone
> interested in participating in the Polymedia Lab planning should visit:
> http://docs.indymedia.org/view/Global/OurPolymediaLab
>
> ======================

>
> For Presentations and Participatory Sessions, the Conference Planning
Committee is seeking proposals that address one or more of the
> following topics:
>
> 1) Connecting Research and Advocacy for Citizens' Media
> --data and research findings, advocacy strategies and research/evaluation
methods that can help demonstrate to policymakers, funders
> and civil society leaders the vital importance of grassroots,
community-based, autonomous, participatory media and ICT policies,
> systems and projects
> -- the research needs of advocates, practitioners and policymakers
> -- overcoming barriers to advocacy-oriented or participatory research in
academia
> -- opportunities and methods for research that can support advocacy as
well as practitioner self-evaluation
> -- the nexus between academic research and community aspirations
> -- pragmatic projects for equity, social inclusion and policy realignment
> -- ICT and media policy and advocacy campaigns as empowering tools for
future initiatives
> -- tactical, practice-based, or other 'non-traditional' research methods
and models

research and practice
>
>
> 2) "Best Practices" and "Notable Failures"
> -- stories and lessons from survivors, successes and disasters;
transformed, extinct or emerging citizens' media and grassroots
> networking projects, media/ICT advocacy and policy campaigns,
researcher-practitioner collaborations. What specifically we can learn
> from them to incorporate into our practice as researchers, advocates and
media practitioners?
> -- praxis models for engaging ICTs and media and grassroots activities,
community participation or mobilization
> -- lessons from other social movements, past campaigns or local examples
that relate to current advocacy efforts for "communication
> rights," "media democracy," "free speech," "media diversity" and other
goals.
>
> 3) Current Policy Issues and Implications:
> -- discussions on current media/ICT policy issues and institutions such as
WSIS, WTO, FTAA, WIPO, Convention on Cultural Diversity

free, diverse, autonomous and participatory media

> -- opportunities for OM to advance academic/advocacy/practitioner
collaborations
> -- specific ways that network members can help each other
> -- research, workshops, strategies and campaigns to further develop OM as
a network and political force
> -- workshops or discussions to address future goals, organizational
structures, processes and activities for the network, next steps
> and short & long term future of OURMedia
>
> We are very interested in session proposals that have a specific intended
action outcome, such as working sessions designed to
> initiate collaborative projects with the goal of producing actual tools
such as:
> - a guide to self evaluation for citizens media/advocacy groups
> - guidelines for practitioner/advocate academic collaborations
> - bibliographies of key research for media/ICT advocacy
> - media education/media literacy curricula including a citizens' media
perspective
> - collectively generated maps of the relationships among media and
ICTpolicy issues
> - booklets or pamphlets on current policy issues and how they relate to
community media and ICTs
> - public education materials (flyers, articles, posters, multimedia) about
citizens media/ICT and policy issues
> - action plans, working groups and groundwork for participation in a
regional/global policy forum such as WSIS II or WTO, Social
> Forums and other movement processes or activist campaigns.
>
> **Note: we are also specifically seeking research proposals that seek to
focus on the OURMedia network as a subject. The team from
> CIMA together with Dr. Janice Windborne are planning to conduct a research
survey of the OURMedia membership and are actively
> looking for additional academic partners interested in contributing to
this work. This is an excellent opportunity for academics
> interested in studying networks. If you are interested, please contact [

> MORE INFORMATION, COSTS AND FEES
>
> OURMedia IV: "Building Communication Societies" will take place in Porto
Alegre, Brazil, July 22-25, 2004 as a pre-conference to the
> IAMCR, the International Association of Media and Communications Research.
>
> We are currently fundraising to cover essential conference costs. We are
hoping to raise additional funds to enable us to subsidize
> the travel and lodging costs of some participants. However, it is unlikely
we will be able to provide full travel subsidies for
> anyone. Participants are encouraged to acquire their own funding for
transportation/food/lodging if possible. Scholarship
> information will be available after April 20 on the OURMedia website.
>
> The Conference full registration fee is $150 USD for the two days of
conference sessions and $150 USD for the two days of field
> trips, for a total of $300 USD. If you are not receiving funding from an
academic organization, large NGO, grantmaking foundation or
> other institution, and not otherwise able to raise the funds to do so,
then we will waive the registration fee. However, please note
> that registration fees will contribute towards essential conference costs
such as space, translators, technology and documentation
> as well as supplement our budget for the field trips. We have a very tight
budget for a very ambitious agenda and we need your
> support.
>
> If you are also planning on attending IAMCR, some grants are available for
participants from low-income countries. Please visit:
> http://www.pucrs.br/famecos/iamcr/textos/grants.htm
